Shoma Uno: 2014-2024

[MaiKatze]

And pinch his cheeks!

Now you've crossed a line demarinis, you naughty :dev2:

 

[Kanna]

so cool! I read that to buy the limited edition enters you into a lottery to win a chance to meet with Shoma and shake hand. Is this true??

@daphenaxa Well, actually almost all can shake hands if only buy it at limited 3 shops. Lottery's for autograph. Or, only PIW shows always offer the time to talk to him, take photo, shake hands Love it.

Now you've crossed a line demarinis, you naughty :dev2:

LOL! To be perfectly clear MaiKatze the cheeks I was talking about are above his waist.

@demarinis5 you two made me laugh lol lol

 

[Arriba627]

hi, Daphenaxa, thanks for the reply! yep, Shoma's surely popular here. Thank you for the link of daily motion This TV program's created by one of local TVs, Nagoya TV（his home town）, so even I couldn't watch it in Tokyo Finally I've done it!

In April I went 4TT, in May PIW yokohama 3 times and Faoi Makuhari, then realized there're only a few Shoma fans here still. 90 percents are Yuzu fans in Faoi. For instance, in Faoi only I and some girls called 'Shoma!' before his show started, despite the majority screamly called 'Yuzu!' So, many many magazines & TV CM want to work with Yuzu still now. Overall I can say Shoma's in the Third position probably when I imagine how popular he is. Just felt like that. Or many Shoma fans choose to watch the show on TV as each show costs around 200 dollars!!

I'll go Doi, PIW again and the talk show and Foi. Will post how those are. Btw JP show's strict, many don' permit photo, video, autograph..

FYI. Colantotte, Shoma's neck charm, produced the limited ver. of Shoma edition..250 dollars! me? bought it lol.

Hi Kanna and welcome! I am so jealous of all the shows and WTT you attended. How fun! No matter how many people are or aren't cheering, Shoma is still very exciting live! And that necklace! I love it!...Did you get to talk to him or get close to him at any of the PIW performances? A lady I met at Worlds had the most beautiful photos of him from one of last years shows. He looked so nice with all the bouquets of flowers he was holding...I've talked to him 3 times, but I think I was more excited about shaking his hand than talking to him.

I have a question for you too. See what happens when you are one of our Japanese resources?! My question is about the way Shoma speaks Japanese. Is his Japanese different because he is from Nagoya (his vocabulary, accent, expressions, etc.)?

Thanks in advance , and again - welcome!

Oh darn! :scard7:
10% body fat -- and I think we know where about 8% of it is!

 

[Arriba627]

I was at the 6 pm show! Honestly, I'm still confused on what happened, it just sucks that multiple people told me that Shoma was doing an autograph signing and then later finding out he had already left. Maybe the rink staff told me the wrong info?

Yep, this will probably remain one of life's greatest mysteries. When they made an announcement at the 1 pm about autographs, my skating friend said to me "Did you remember to bring your Japanese flag?", cos I'd really like to get him to sign it. Luckily I didn't run home between shows to get it (a drive of about 30 miles round trip!). That would have been really bad! I wonder if maybe there was a security concern. Things can get crazy pretty fast. I know there were lots and lots of Japanese fans there who really wanted to give him flowers, etc.

Hi, Lady Arriba! Thank you, you know, YOU are already famous among us, Shoma fans in JP. Thank you for sharing Chicago show
Yep, I went PIW 3 times in May, then will go another PIW in Jul. Only PIW shows allow us to talk to & photo & shake hands with him. Very casual atmosphere, Shoma talks funny things always, like he doesn' like Miso soup at all etc. If you have a chance to visit JP, pls take PIW's best seats. Cheaper seats are unable to join those the fan event. The show itself is not so super though. Ah, also you can do so to all other skaters, Arakawa, Ando etc. You can find PIW Yokohama 2017 in twitter or instagram, many photos JP fans took. I have only Insta, what about you?

You mean, dialect? he has a bit, but I don' realize there's a huge gap between mine and his. he's such a sweetie, I'm so happy to see that Shoma's loved by many fans in foreign countries

The necklace, Colantotte, is an item for golfers most. This limited Shoma edition contains photo of Shoma with a special photo frame etc. Many sold out quickly. You can find Colantotte official site, though it's not cheaper cuz it releases neck irritation. Any questions're always welcome

 

[Arriba627]

Wonder if this is next year's Nessun Dorma music. If it is, it's a different singer from last year. Don't recognize who it is (starting at 43:55). http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5p8q66_shomaunosp_sport Anyone recognize who that is?

 

[xeyra]

A heads up that the translator of the mini-documentary, which link I posted yesterday, is going to be translating and subbing the entire long 45min+ documentary video. Looking forward to that.

Thanks for sharing his schedule and the other information, Kanna! You're such a great fan, I'm also a little envious that you've seen him so many times in person! Between his shows and flights and practicing for this season's programs and his ice show presentations/choreography, plus studying, I wonder how he still has time to sleep 12 hours/day (I seem to have read that somewhere, I think a fan asked him in PIW about how long he sleeps)! Crazy schedule.

Wow!! Yey! I was hoping someone would translate, but I did think that would be a lot of work. I love Cantilover! Thank you for the information!

 

[synesthesia]

Welcome from me too, Kanna! It's great to have you here!

Now I have a question (or two) as well. We've talked about PIW in Shoma's thread a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't sure, if it's possible to get front-row tickets the normal way or if you have to enter a lottery for them. Also how fast do the PIW shows usually sell out?

The show itself is not so super though.

It looks a bit "old-fashioned" (maybe because it's the ice-show with the longest tradition in Japan?), which can also be kinda charming I guess. And it's the only show Tatsuki regularly peforms in these days and where he presents his awesome, self-choreographed programs every year, so that's a huge bonus! What would you say is the best Japanese ice-show? Say, regardless of your favourites being there or not, if you had to choose one, which one would you go to? My favourites from watching recordings of them are Friends on Ice (for its creative opening and closing numbers), The Ice (for the fun group numbers and dance battles) and Christmas on Ice (for its cozy vibe and great singers), but of course the impression could be completely different live... if you've been to any of those in the past. Sorry for bombarding you with questions!

Anyone recognize who that is?

Bocelli? Not sure... :scratch3:

Yup, that one was translated by Cantilover as well. She does so much, I'm wondering, if she gets any sleep. In case you're reading this, Cantilover: thx a bunch for all of your efforts!

@ Latremu
Yeah, he mentioned he needs 8-12hrs to sleep lol. According to some fans, he seemed to go to bed around 22PM, then wake up early, good habit. I knooow, he joins almost all shows, I'm a bit scared, hope he'll stay healthy! Then, he's a univ student, and a Toyota worker now..tell me about it!?
Hope you'll visit JP! GPF's held in Nagoya, his home town I've been waiting for the ticket info.

Ironically, I realize now that I was in Japan during NHK trophy last November (but I was in Tokyo, not Sapporo). I wasn't following figure skating then. Anyway, Shoma wasn't there, so it's okay. I was considering going to GPF in Nagoya, but aren't the tickets by lottery?

@Latremu
Yeah...it'd be sold by lottery again, any concrete info's not coming up yet Next season, Shoma's assigned to Skate Canada first..sounds easier to go, if you are in the U.S. wooo..jealous

@synesthesia
thank you, synesthesia! For PIW, TVK ticket website's the best, you can select the seat. Front row's always already booked by Prince Hotel Members, Second row's still VIP seat which I always buy. We call Front & Second rows are 'Exciting seats', closest to the rink. Tickets are available two months before? BUT we're informed WHO COMES later. hahaa, tricky! WTT also! We need to check Shoma's website to grasp which ones he comes. Well I can say it's easy to take PIW as others're much bigger ones. e.g. DOI has Shoma, Nathan, Evgenia etc. or, Faoi has Yuzu, Shoma, Plu, Lambier, Johnny. The Ice has Mao&Mai Asada, Shoma, Daisuke Takahashi. FOI has Shoma & Takahashi etc. So, PIW's, yes, old fashioned & casual and has the fun time for fans! Next PIW Tokyo's held during Jul 14-17（Shoma's shows're only on 16-17）and still some tickets left. Others're gone quickly! Um, many go Faoi...big Arena, great guests, 100percent full. Also PIW is great, we can talk to all skaters. The Ice's kinda polite, but has great members & program. hehe, DOI & FOI are coming soon, will let you know how those are. well, HOPE all tickets go cheaper a bit..Can I sing 'I'll say good bye to bucks' （not 'love'）lol

Hi to everyone) I'm also a new here (by the way I'm more a reader, then a writer, but I hope to change it step by step). I have been loving figure skating for many years, but Shoma has been my love since last year's Rostelecom cup. Very sad not to have him again this year, but may be I'll be able to see him in Milan)
You have an amazing warm company here, it's a real pleasure to read your discussions)
P.S. I'm very sorry for any (current and future) mistakes in English, I learn it now and I'll try to do my best)

It's Luciano Pavarotti. Or Three Tenors (Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras) version, I'm not too sure about the first piece. But since "Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me" it's Pavarotti 100%

Welcome Bambina! Have fun enjoying Shoma and practicing your English. (Looked pretty good to me! )...I wasn't sure if that was Pavarotti, but today I am going to try to find my old 3 Tenors CD. I remember now the 3 Tenors sang Nessun Dorma.

I love the line in Italian you quoted above. That is what I had printed on a t-shirt and gave to Shoma when he was here. He probably has 500 t-shirts, so it would be a miracle if he wears it!

Hope you get to see The Winter Prince in Milan. He is great live. And to use the B ESP boys' description of Shoma, "Wasn't he utterly brilliant" (at Rostelecom). Did you get to see him live at Rostelecom?

********************
I never retweet anyone else's photos and only tweet ones that I took. Had to make an exception for this one though, cos I just love this one of Shoma with this little girl. Both of them are so adorable! https://pic.twitter.com/7ieAT6otrC

Thank you, Arriba627!
Lucky you) I wish I had Three Tenors CD. Although I need to search for it may be I can buy such a CD somewhere) Yes, they sang. And in my opinion their version is just the best (and also Pavarotti only), so I'll be very happy if Shoma choose their Nessun Dorma - great music singing by great people.

Very nice quote for a t-shirt) Seems to me these words describe him very well. I'm sure he liked it)

Yes, I got to see him at Rostelecom. And you are absolutely right, he is great live Can't wait to see him again. Fingers crossed for Milan, it should be amazing to see Vivaldi and Turandot programs in Italy)

Hi - Having heard Pavarotti a lot, I'm pretty sure (99.9%) it's not him singing. Max Aaron used Pavarotti here:

Agree -- the voice is not rich enough to be Pavarotti. I realized when I listened to it again. But never fear -- I just found my 3 Tenors cassette. Yes, you read that right. If it's one of the 3, it's Carreras. Very hard to tell. And when Shoma was running his music, I was in the restroom using an electric hand dryer and really couldn't hear a thing! (such problems!) That's right -- I forgot Max used Nessun Dorma! Thanks for the link!
